“(The tape) is not real, so it makes me sort of sad. It’s unfortunate that it got carried as far as it did.”

But Meester is taking some positives from the tabloid scandal: “I definitely understand the nature of people better now and that the mere allegation of something like that could be headline news. People think it’s real because somebody says it is.”

And she is adamant there are no skeletons in her closet for the press to dig up, adding, “I’ve never been crazy. I’m a very good girl, to be honest. I don’t do anything to hurt anybody. Honestly, all I ever do is work.”
